Deep Mauve vs Whimsy
Where Deep Mauve belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Whimsy is a Cloverdale Paint color. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. Deep Mauve (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Whimsy (LRV 17), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Deep Mauve vs Whimsy Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Deep Mauve on one side and Whimsy on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
